 I've developed an Android application to control my phone over xmpp
 protocol and I format my phone responses in XHTML.

 When I create a span tag with "font-weight:bold" it works fine.
 But when I use "font-style:italic" it's doesn't work.

 It must be a pidgin issue because it works fine with other xmpp client.

 Style attributes are favored of structural elements.
 From XEP-0071:[[BR]]
 ''The use of structural elements is NOT RECOMMENDED where presentational
 styles are desired, which is why very few structural elements are
 specified herein. Implementations SHOULD use appropriate 'style'
 attributes (e.g., <span style='font-weight: bold'>this is bold</span> and
 <p style='margin-left: 5%'>this is indented</p>) rather than XHTML
 structural elements (e.g., <strong/> and <blockquote/>) wherever
 possible.''

 Moreover can you raise the tag number limit ?
